Pumpkin Pachadi

I was putting together lunch on a weekend, I had only a few veggies in hand and I didn't want to get new ones before getting done with them, I had made a sambar and a fry and I had some chopped pumpkin in my freezer which I wanted to finish up. Usually I make a sambar or a curry with it, which I didn't want to do that day, so I made this pachadi for the first time. It turned out to be very good, served it as a side dish, but even tasted great when mixed with some rice..Need To Have
